i admire stephanie and her passion to help. she seems to have channeled her energies positively in recent times. with that said, i am quite alarmed though as to how hard and leathered she looked in the latest pics.

I miss everything about him. But he is still so much there. Our moments of comlicity, our happinesses, also I miss ihis presence much, but I am alleviated now. He belongs to me and I know that he guides me. I'll always keep in my spirit the way in which he raised me and the things that he taught me..

I agree! Her body is still beautiful, but her face tells a different story. A sad story perhaps.

My father had a boat. I adore the sea and I'm fascinated by it. It became a need. Each time I moved away from Monaco, it is what I missed the most. But the life of a yachtman or jet-setter, it is not my thing - that's not me. To talk only to say nothing at all, to be in appearance, to have 150 evening gowns in ones wardrobe, to take a jet to pass from one evening event to the other does not interest me. I have some more important things to do to which help to do something for the people.

Sebastian, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting (and translating) Stephanie's interview. Can't say how much I appreciate it.
Just please, keep posting! :)

Well I think I have to agree with you on your comment about her recent pics. I just loved those from New York and those from Paris Match, she really looked great, but those from the gala, I'm not sure if it was the hairstyle, the dress or something else. It's the same with Caroline's outfit at the opera last year on national day, her hair was so stick-straight, that wasn't her best style either....

Is the green stuff on her left foot part of her shoes or is her foot sort of wounded?

Thanks, now that I looked more carefully, I noticed the dolphin. I knew Steph had that tatoo but I didn't know where it was.

It is important to believe in something. I am christian and am baptized. Catholicism ish ere the religion of state and I respect it deeply. But whatever are our beliefs, one does not need a exès. At our time, some are radicalized. To believe that a higher entity incarnates a single and unique truth and can regulate all our difficulties seems to me illusory. It's up to each and everyone of us to handle it.

What I like most about a man, it is the autodérision, his capacity not to take himself to serious, his humour. That he is modest and humble. As everyone I search for a person who has a vision of the existence close to the one I have. I do not like those who consider that all is acquired. It is necessary to know to call oneself in question and a lot of of men don't know how to do it.

It is a symbolic island. As each and everyone, I sometimes need to find myself alone, to take stock of the situation. I move a lot, all the time I have new ideas so that I need by instants to arrange them. I really like to be alone, to spend some hours without children, to isolate myself to think.

I agree. She seems to have a lot of sun damage to her skin. I guess she is not a fan of sun block or moisturizer. Smoking also doesn't help the skin. Such a shame for so pretty a lady.:( She is only a few months older than I am but I must say I fortunately do not have that leathered look. I also don't have such a toned body, but that's my own fault.
